2009 Chardonnay Accolades

TOP 100 WINES OF 2011 #28 - WINE ENTHUSIAST

95 Points - WINE ENTHUSIAST - October 2011 Issue
A brilliant Chardonnay. Almost nothing quite like it out there. Great, zesty acidity makes the mouth water, and oak is strongly there but perfectly vindicated by the power of the underlying flavors. They suggest ripe pineapples and tropical fruits, peaches, honeysuckle and a firm, stony minerality that has to come from the soil. For all the richness, the wine is terrifically dry. Editors’ Choice. —S.H.
